INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND THE
FARMERS.

1t has not probably occurred tn most
men that the one piece Of national leg
islstion for many years in behalf of
the great agricultural interests is the
interstate commerce bill. We are not
Of those who think that the effect Of
this law will be iniuriousSo railroads.
The latter are. IL might be said, tue
basis OF our modern business industrial
system, and the peculiar industrial
civilization OF the nineteenth century
will stand or fall with them. Any
thing that cripples the railroads or
seriously affects their freedom and &C.
tivity will crush them, II they are
crushed and disappear. so will be
crushed aud disappear the industrial
system, the industrial civilization Of
the nineteenth century which is built
upon them. Blu, the interstate COM
merce act will not have any such eff,
feet. lis tendency will be to benefit
the railroads. And its most special
and beneficent results will be to-
ward the farmer. Few people are
aware Of the gigantic magnitude
Of the agricultural interests Of the
country. To day the United States is
the richest country on the face Of
the globe, because its farming classes
annually dig out the greatest amount
of wealth from the soil. Yet il is safe
to assert that no other industry re.
turns 30 narrow a margin Of profit in
proportion TO the labor expended and
the capital involved as farming. The
greatest fortunes are made In trans.
porting and landing agricu ltural pro.
ducts after they leave the farmers
hands. Thinking men are beginning
TO feel the force and Significance OF
this. The interstate commerce law
was enacted because justice demanded
it for the farmer. Ii It's true object Is
defeated In It's enforcement an effec-
tual substitute will be found later.

ing the short way TO do IL. In all the
Old World the laboring farmer has
had a hard time, receiving poor re-
turns for the utmost expenditure OF
labor. He had but few opportunities
To improve his mind or enlarge his
tastes. The rustic" was the Latin
synonym for clo%wnishness of manner
Ms well as condition Of an agricultural
worker, while the word pagan" war
prev rted from its original meaning OF
dweller and worker in the country to
the modern Specification of uncouth,
ignorant and superstitious barbarian,
In this country, however, the farmer,
though too often denied a just return,
peculiarly, for his labors, is very
much removed from the status of the
Old World sgricultrist. AS he is the
backbone OF the country, rs the liber-
ties of the republic could not exist for
day unless based upon and securely
rooted in the agricultural classes Of
our people, 50 their interests should be
strictly looked after and guarded,

II is said that the more rapid deterio-
ration of much Of the iron Of a late make
arises from the fact that it contains more
impurities than formerly. The common
iron Of to-day is filled with Stag, and
looks coarse and fbrous when rusted or
worn. Fifty years ago the iron made in
the United States was largely charcoal
iron, and was much purer and better than
the same grades made at the present day.

An African Drum

This. said Capt. Storms, taking up
a monstrous native drum Of unshapely
girth, produces a curious effect when
you hear the muffled hanging Of it re-
echoing from village to village as the
signal for war. ! have come across
chiefs in the interior whose hobby it is
TO have fancy drummers. But their
way OF procuring them is essentially Afri-
can. They chop off the hands Of their
slaves, and oblige the latter to beat the
drums with their mutilated stumps in
lieu of drumsticks. Chicago Tribune.

HOW TO APPLY MANURE.
The Value of Using 1t as a Top-Dressing
for Wheat.

The value or Using 1t as a Top-Dresslng
for Wheat.
will give in few notes my way of
using manure. 1t seems as if there
are some writer's who think if man
uses manure in any other way than
they do. it is not the right way. They
do not take into consideration that some
soils must have manure applied in a
different way from other soils, in order
to get the most and best returns. If a
farmer does it on his farm so that he
will get the most good from it on his
ground l think it is the right way, so
far as he is concerned. do not think
that it is right for one man to say to
another that he is all wrong, ''my way
is the right way, and not yours
do not own a farm so l have to
rent. and I pay a very good price for a
medium good farm. The land is most
ly all sandy, and some sandy clay,
with the exception of about acres Of
second-class bottom land. I have been
on the place now about three years
and half, and when l came on it
there was just one field of clover that
contained acres, some very poor. /
have on the same place to-day, two
fields of timothy of acres each and
another Of acres sown last fall; Is acres
of clover. two years old, and 142 acres
sown this spring. In the spring of
1884 when l came here, there was an
old straw stack and lot of manure on
the place. l made large compost
heap, using two loads of manure to one
load of old straw, I put two loads of
straw at the bottom to commence with,
and always drove over the pile, so as
to keep it solid. I think that 1 had
between so and 60 loads of manure in
the fall, all well rotted. / worked it
over thrice in the summer, and /
hauled some out before wheat sowing
and some after I had sowed and put
bone dust on some of it. That was a
hard winter. and where I put bone
dust had just about half a crop, on
one field and on part of the othenfeld,
and on part of tho other field1 had
none, but where put the manure, the
wheat came up to my shoulders, and
the set of grass there is simply wonder
full. 1t yielded a good deal more to
the acre than where there is no manure.
This one test alone convinced me of
the value of using manure as top
dressing for wheat, and 1 have done it
every winter, and with success, and /
always get q good stand of clover or
grass,-Cor. Ohio Farmer.

BENEFITS OF SUNLIGHT.

Facts for Housekeepers Who Have the
Welfare of Their Families at Heart.
Instead of excluding the sunlight
from our houses lest it fade carpets and
curtains, draw flies and bring freckles.
we should open every door and window
and bid it enter. 1t brings life and
health and joy; there is healing in its
beams; it drives away disease, damp
ness. mold, megrims. Instead of do
ing this, however. many careful house
wives close the blinds, draw down the
shades, lock the doors, shut out the
clarifying rays, and rejoice in the dim
and musty GOODNESS and twilight of
their apartments. 1t is pleasant. and
not unwholesome during the glare
of the noontide to subdue the heat, but
in the evening we may freely indulge
in the sun-bath, and let it flood all
our rooms and if at its very fiercest
and brightest, it has full entrance
to our sleeping rooms so much the
better for us. Wire netting in doors
and windows excludes not flies and
mosquitoes only. but all other insects,
and those who have once used it will
continue to do so. With this as pro-
